Blood is Thicker than Family

There has never been more precious covenant blood exchanged than that of the Lamb of God—our Master, the Messiah Yeshua. As we partake of the Passover memorial, let us remember what the shed blood of Yeshua bought for us, and bought us for.

The Torah of Liberty—So Speak, and So Do

Exploring the Book of Ya’aqov, Pt. 10 For whoever keeps the whole תּוֹרָה, Torah, and stumbles in one point, has become guilty of breaking it all. For He who is saying, “YOU MUST NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,” also said, “YOU MUST NOT MURDER.” And so, if you do not commit adultery, yet you commit murder, you […]

Bringing the King’s Torah to Its Goal

Exploring the Book of Ya’aqov, Pt. 9 My brothers, do not hold the faith of the glory of our Master יֵשׁוּע, Yeshua the Messiah in favoritism. For if there comes into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, dressed in bright clothing, and there also comes in a poor man in shabby clothing, and […]

Devotion Pure and Undefiled

Exploring the Book of Ya’aqov, Pt. 8 If anyone thinks himself to be devout—not bridling his tongue, but rather deceiving his heart—the devotion of this one is vain. Devotion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their oppression, and to keep himself unspotted from the […]

In Everything, With Thanksgiving

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything—by prayer and by asking for help, with thanksgiving—let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which is surpassing all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Messiah יֵשׁוּעַ, Yeshua. (Philippians 4:6-7, mjlt) In today’s uneasy and tumultuous world, there are plenty […]

For the Love of the Word of God

I love the Scriptures. I love God’s Word. Every chapter, paragraph, sentence, phrase, word and letter of the Book is life to me.

Let Us Come Near, Then—Unhindered

A Special Yom Kipur Message Having, then, a great כֹּהֵן גּ‬ָדוֹל‬, Kohen Gadol passed through the heavens—יֵשׁוּעַ, Yeshua, the Son of God—let us hold fast to the profession of faith. For we have a כֹּהֵן גּ‬ָדוֹל‬, Kohen Gadol not unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one tempted in all things likewise as we are, […]

Receive the Word, Then Do It!

Exploring the Book of Ya’aqov, Pt. 7 Therefore, having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in humility be receiving the ingrafted word that is able to save your souls, and become doers of the word, and not hearers only, thereby deceiving yourselves. Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not […]

God’s Righteousness and Being Slow to Anger

Exploring the Book of Ya’aqov, Pt. 6 Know this, my beloved brothers, and let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for the anger of a man does not accomplish the righteousness of God. (יַעֲקֹב Ya’aqov 1:19-20, mjlt) Have you ever had that feeling during an intensely heated argument […]
